bleah.

I'm sure what we need is yet ANOTHER movie tipping it's hat to the Matrix motif.

I'm split on this:

On one hand, the original Bullseye costume is definite geek territory. (What villian in their right mind where's a bullseye on their head? 'gee, I wonder if the cops will be able to see this!')

On the other hand, I agree with you that I'm getting a little tired of the whole goofy Matrix look.

The worst example of this is the bullshit liberties they took with the Elektra costume. ARGGHH!!!!

I've seen comments on another thread I posted about the Elecktra costume saying it reminded people of everything from Xena to Coyote Ugly. Sad.

I think all this is pointing to a movie that is going to lean more towards Mutant-X than Spider-man in how they treat the material.

Out of curiosity... do you guys plan on seeing the movie?

I'll go see it. But not on opening night or anything. Being disappointed by Ben Affleck and the treatment of Kingpin is just nothing i look forward to.

Besides the fact that i'm not even a daredevil fan to begin with. I read the Frank Miller Man without fear book, and his elektra book. Other than that i never could finish the kevin smith stuff when a friend lent it to me when i was in college. But by then i had stopped reading superhero books, so it may be no fault of the story at all.

The way I see it, altering the movie to the point where it is no longer faithful to the comic will not deter comic fans. They will see it regardless. Meanwhile, Marvel has a much better shot of luring in the 99% of the planet or so that thinks superhero comics are stupid.

Sounds like sound business practice to me.

Myself, as I do with almost every movie, I plan on waiting until a few actual reviews come out before deciding whether to pay to see it or not...

I will go see this movie, so far looks great and the director is a DD fan.

Because when you change your clothes, you're no longer the same person...

Could be worse. It could be the actual comic book costume.

Heh.

That was very funny. And very very true.

I just think Bullseye is lame in any shape or form.
